Don’t Look Back in Anger

The whiteboard has kept true to its pledge of providing consistent quality content for the last 9 years, an uninterrupted run that draws comparisons to dynasties like M.A.S.H or The Simpsons. Like any longstanding TV show eventually the writers eventually need to slack off and as a result, we get…

Extrovert! Extrovert! Read All About It!

One of the things I hate to see is when a consultant, who has spent the entirety of their career at one agency, proceeds to leave the industry. It’s a waste and more often than not the result of poor judgment. Now, obviously I have a horse in this race,…

All Good Things…

Blog topics are sometimes hard to come by, nine times out of ten they’re usually a cathartic exercise used to expel some of the recruitment demons we’ve experienced in the week. The importance of packaging a candidate, counter offers or salary expectations are brought into focus by a wayward candidates,…

Count Eroffer

A demonic figure that makes Bram Stoker’s Dracula seem more at place with his numerical namesake on Sesame Street. Much like the folklore perpetuated in Lost Boys this evil presence can only harm you if you invite it in your home. For those who are in the dark let me…

Given the dearth of talent, you may have noticed a number of his "creative"…

Where Did All the Candidate Managers Go?

Many of us would have started out our recruitment life as candidate managers/sourcing specialist/talent finders or any semantical variation of the former. It’s a tried and tested path trodden by many a recruiter with airtight logic; learn the market from the candidates. As a junior consultant, there is an obvious…

The Robots Are Coming…Slowly

When it comes to clickbait blog topics, "HR Tech" and "the future of work" are the LinkedIn equivalents of "naked singles in your area". Most of these articles tell us of a brave new world. A world where AI is harnessed to decide which tie you are to wear, your…

An old’un, but a good’un

Last weekend I was lucky enough to catch the fantastic Gallipoli Exhibition at Te Papa. It’s with a degree of arrogance that I say I come from a country with some of the best museums in the world, but this exhibition, with the assistance of Weta Workshop, ranks up there…

The Silent Treatment

As a recruiter, I love April. We bid farewell to the last financial year, and steam into 2018/19 with all guns blazing. For our business, it also coincides with our end of year sales meeting, team performance reviews, and some big picture thinking and planning for the year ahead. All…

Are We Discriminating? Or Just Failing to Communicate?

From time to time the words I type into this Wordpress page and send out through various digital channels manifest themselves into real life reactions. A recruiter moving back from overseas gets in touch. An invite to attend or speak at a conference arrives. A bellicose threat of legal action,…
